I think this is very nicely done. It's a very convincing environment. The only suggestion I would make is that you might want to add something to give a sense of scale... this could be a mountain in a desert or a rock sticking out of a single dune.

Another thought has occured to me... you might want to add a bit of collected sand in some of the cracks of the mountain. This would ground it a bit more into the rest of the desert.

Ooooh. Good ideas, Rick! I was making a story around the environment while I made it (something I've done since childhood) and was going to add a figure in there for a sense of scale, but decided against it at the last minute. The mountain was supposed to be very far back and untouched by the desert (a boy from a desert tribe is ensconced by the difference and beauty of the mountain, so untouched by his sandy home) but looking at it again, I may have made it too dark. Tsk tsk.

What the heck is a TAG?

TAG stands for "Tuesday Art Group"… On the first Tuesday of each month a Seattle based group of Illustrators, game artists, comic book artists and anyone else who seems to qualify, get together to sketch, talk shop, network, perhaps work on an practice assignment and maybe even eventually hire an occasional figure model to pose for us.
